My recommendation... Let's say you already have a few watches and you're happy with your collection. After you have a few watches, adding another watch adds very little utility to your life. I would recommend adding an AMAZING fountain pen to your collection (something like a stupendously overdesigned Montblanc pen like the "Borghese" which is one of my recent favorites) or an AMAZING belt buckle to your collection. I highly vouch that one go down the rabbit hole of the "beautiful mechanicals" lifestyle rather than just down the "watch rabbit hole." It's certainly made me appreciate watches much more too and makes the conversation about watches transition to other topics more easily.

Very nice article! Thank you for sharing.

Now, this opens up an entirely new realm of collecting for me. Not sure I want to get trapped in the rabbit hole. Amazing stuff! ;-)

I did not even know these Uber expensive belt buckles existed

Great article, Patrick.

It was a real pleasure to meet and interview Roland with you last year for the “Fifth Wrist Radio” podcast. Roland really is one of a kind! Genius! 💓🤘

The pleasure was all mine!

A true pleasure! And I raise my glass of Macallan "Enigma" whiskey to you! It's, a sherry cask single malt, no age statement but probably around 18 years. Very smooth! You'd like it!
